A. The Grantee is an employee of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Properties LP, through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations (the “Partnership”).

B. Pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) and the Limited Partnership Agreement (the “LP Agreement”) of the Partnership, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee an Other Stock-Based Award (as defined in the Plan, referred to herein as an “Award”) in the form of, and by causing the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, the number of 2016 LTIP Units (as defined in the LP Agreement) set forth above (the “Award LTIP Units”) having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth herein and in the LP Agreement. Upon the close of business on the Grant Effective Date pursuant to this 2016 LTIP Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Grantee shall receive the Award LTIP Units, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and in the LP Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Plan or the Partnership Unit Designation for the 2016 LTIP Units (the “LTIP Unit Designation”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Grantee agree as follows:

1. Effectiveness of Award. Any Grantee who has not previously been admitted as a partner of the Partnership shall be admitted with beneficial ownership of the Award LTIP Units as of the Grant Effective Date by (i) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement and (ii) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the LP Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). Upon execution of this Agreement by the Grantee, the Partnership and the Company, the LP Agreement shall be amended to reflect the issuance to the Grantee of the Award LTIP Units. Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to a number of 2016 LTIP Units equal to the Award LTIP Units, as set forth in the LP Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified in Section 2 below.

2. Vesting of Award LTIP Units.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2(iii) and 2(iv) below, the Award LTIP Units shall become vested in the amounts and at the times set forth in the table above, provided that except as set forth below the Continuous Service (as defined below) of the Grantee continues through and on the applicable Vesting Date or Dates.

(ii) There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting of Award LTIP Units in or during the months, days or periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting of Award LTIP Units shall occur only on the applicable Vesting Date. Upon the termination or cessation of the Grantee’s Continuous Service, other than as provided in Section 2(iii), any portion of the Award LTIP Units which is not yet then vested shall automatically and without notice or payment of any consideration by the Company or the Partnership terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void and neither the Grantee nor any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in the Award LTIP Units.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, if the principal class of securities for which the Award LTIP Units may be exchanged are no longer publicly traded following a Change of Control, then the unvested Award LTIP Units subject to this Agreement that have not been previously forfeited shall immediately vest as of the date of cessation of trading. The vesting of the Award LTIP Units subject to this Agreement shall not otherwise accelerate on a Sale Event except as provided in this Agreement or with the consent of the Committee. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, if the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated as a result of the death of the Grantee, then the unvested Award LTIP Units subject to this Agreement that have not been previously forfeited and which are scheduled to vest during the same calendar year shall immediately vest as of the date of death.

(iv) The right to redemption pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership shall not be exercisable with respect to any Partnership Common Unit issued upon conversion of the Award LTIP Units until on or after the Transferable Date, provided however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply if the redemption right is exercised in connection with a “Change of Control”.

(v) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

“Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred (A) if the Grantee is a party to a Service Agreement, and “change of control” is defined therein, as provided in such definition, or (B) if the Grantee is not party to a Service Agreement or the Grantee’s Service Agreement does not define “change of control”, if

(i) there shall be consummated (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company, other than a merger or consolidation of the Company in which (1) the holders of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation have at least fifty one percent (51%) ownership of the total voting power of the surviving entity immediately after the merger or consolidation, and (2) no person (other than an Exempted Holder as defined below) beneficially owns (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), directly or indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or more of the total voting power of the surviving entity or (b) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company, or

(ii) the shareholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or

(iii) any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than an Exempted Holder (as defined below) shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company's Common Stock. “Exempted Holder” means (a) the Company or any majority-owned Subsidiary (provided that this exclusion applies solely to the ownership levels of the Company or the majority-owned Subsidiary); (b) any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary; (c) any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; or (d) Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx or Xxx Xxxxxx, their immediate family members and family trusts or family-only partnerships and any charitable foundations, any entities in which they and their families beneficially own a majority of the voting interests, and any “group” (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(i) under the Exchange Act) including them. However, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if a person’s percentage interest increases over twenty (20%) solely as a result of a decrease in the outstanding stock because of an acquisition of securities by the Company; provided, however, that a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred on any subsequent acquisitions of the Company's Common Stock by that person (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction) at a time when that person beneficially owns twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, or

(iv) the Board shall cease for any reason to have a majority of Uncontested Directors. “Uncontested Directors” means directors who were initially elected or initially nominated (i) by a vote of at least two-thirds of the then Uncontested Directors and (ii) not as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board, including by reason of agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or threatened contest or solicitation.

“Continuous Service” shall be defined (1) if the Grantee is a party to a Service Agreement, and “continuous service” or its equivalent is defined therein, as provided in such definition, or (2) if the Grantee is not party to a Service Agreement or the Grantee’s Service Agreement does not define “continuous service” or its equivalent, as the continuous service to the Company and any Subsidiary, without interruption or termination, in any capacity of employee, member of the Board or, with the written permission of the Company, consultant. Continuous Service shall not be considered interrupted in the case of (A) any approved leave of absence, (B) transfers among the Company and any Subsidiary, or any successor, in any capacity of employee, member of the Board or consultant, or (C) any change in status as long as the individual remains in the service of the Company and any Subsidiary in any capacity of employee, member of the Board or (if the Company specifically agrees in writing that the Continuous Service is not uninterrupted) a consultant. An approved leave of absence shall include sick leave, military leave, or any other authorized personal leave.

“Non-Vested LTIP Units” means any portion of the Award LTIP Units subject to this Agreement that has not become vested pursuant to Section 2.

“Service Agreement” means any written employment or other similar service agreement between Grantee and the Company.

“Vested LTIP Units” means any portion of the Award LTIP Units subject to this Agreement that is and has become vested pursuant to Section 2.

4. Rights with Respect to Award LTIP Units. Without duplication with the provisions of Section 3 of the Plan, if (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company or a transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than ordinary cash dividends, shall occur or (iii) any other event shall occur which in the judgment of the Committee necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of the Agreement, then and in that event, the Committee shall take such action as shall be necessary to maintain the Grantee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Agreement prior to such event, including, but not limited to, adjustments in the number of Award LTIP Units then subject to this Agreement and substitution of other awards under the Plan or otherwise. The Grantee shall have the right to vote the Award LTIP Units if and when voting is allowed under the LP Agreement, regardless of whether vesting has occurred.

5. Book-Up Hurdle for Conversion. The Award LTIP Units have a Book-Up Hurdle with a Minimum Increase as set forth on the first page of this Agreement, and may not be converted into Partnership Common Units until after the Partnership has recognized such Minimum Increase in Gross Asset Value following the Grant Effective Date.

6. Forfeiture of Award LTIP Units if not Converted before Termination Date. The Award LTIP Units shall be forfeited, and all rights to the Award LTIP Units hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, in the event that the Conversion Date (as defined in Section 7 of the LTIP Unit Designation) for the Award LTIP Units has not occurred prior to the Termination Date set forth on the first page of this Agreement.

In connection with any Transfer of Award LTIP Units granted hereunder, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted Transfer of Award LTIP Units granted hereunder not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 8 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Award LTIP Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any Award LTIP Units.
